Can anyone, in short, explain the main differences between Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Black Templars as opposed to just regular Space Marines?  I know that BA have blood rage/etc. and landraiders from the sky.

Blood Angels: fast attack, units going insane at game start, fast rhinos, deepstriking land raiders
Dark Angels: lods of plasma, terminators as troops
Black Templars: scouts and marines in the same unit, generally swarmier but not really
Space Wolves: wolf claw wolf the wolf wolf long fang spam

none of them deserve their own codex

IMO BT should be rolled back into codex: SM and everyone else should be put into a codex: chapters errant

So basically nothing I should really consider investing in except maybe BA.

Thank goodness Mattward didn't touch the Salamanders or the Imperial Fists. Suck Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Ultramarines.
